At pm local time Sunday Madiba’s remains would have put to rest in his hometown and we would be celebrating his life with the rest of the World on this sacred day, there are several States throughout the U.S. that will be hosting events on Sunday also to commemorate the life of President Nelson Mandela as a day of remembrance, as they observe his burial. The U.K , Canada are also planning events Sunday as reported in the overseas news.

May we observe across the party lines and not use this event to try and score political points or take pot shots at each other. Madiba’s legacy deserves that much.
